Who is Authomize?
Authomize is a cloud-native security platform focused on managing and securing identities, access privileges, and authorizations across Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), and data environments for enterprises.
- Cross-cloud and SaaS identity and access management visibility and analytics (identity security)
- Detection and remediation of access risks, misconfigurations, and privilege escalation paths (cloud security)
- Continuous monitoring of machine and human identities, roles, and entitlements across applications and infrastructure (identity governance)
- Policy-based automation for right-sizing permissions and enforcing least privilege across environments (access management)
- Support for security, IT, and compliance teams with investigations, reporting, and audit-ready evidence (governance, risk, and compliance)

More About Authomize
Authomize provides an identity-centric security platform designed for enterprises that use multiple SaaS applications, cloud infrastructure providers, and data services. Its core function is to aggregate identity, access, and authorization data from sources such as SaaS applications, cloud providers, identity providers, and directories, and correlate that data into a unified model that security and IT teams can use to analyze access risks.
The platform operates in categories commonly associated with identity security, Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) with an identity focus, and access management. It ingests and normalizes data on users, groups, roles, service accounts, OAuth applications, Application Programming Interface (API) tokens, and entitlements, then maps relationships such as group membership, role assignments, and resource-level permissions. This graph-based view enables analysis of who has access to which assets, through which paths, and whether those permissions align with defined policies.
Authomize uses integrations with identity providers, directories, and cloud and SaaS platforms through APIs and standardized protocols such as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), OAuth, and OpenID Connect (OIDC) where applicable. By leveraging these connections, the platform can track changes to identities and entitlements over time, detect configuration drifts, and identify gaps such as overly permissive roles, orphaned accounts, shadow admins, and unused privileges. The system supports conditional logic and rules that help enforce least-privilege access policies.
In enterprise environments, Authomize is typically used by Security Operations (SecOps), identity and access management teams, and compliance functions to support risk assessments, investigations, and audits. The platform provides workflows and automation for reviewing and adjusting access, such as recommending right-sizing of roles and policies or revoking unused entitlements. This aligns with common practices in Identity Lifecycle Management (ILM), zero trust architectures, and granular access control for cloud and SaaS assets.
Within a directory or marketplace taxonomy, Authomize fits into categories including identity security, identity governance (IGA), cloud security with a focus on access and entitlements, and SaaS security. It is positioned as a unifying layer that connects data from disparate identity and application systems, enabling organizations to manage access consistently across platforms and to support compliance requirements related to access control, segregation of duties, and least privilege.
